Mole Ploughing is a method of installing cables, ducting and water pipes underground with the minimum amount of disturbance to the terrain.
Our mole ploughs are attached to JCB Fastracs as you can see in the photograph, and consist of the plough blade with a vibrator, and also a chain trencher.
The plough blade is adapted for duct installation.
The end of the pipe or cable is fed through the blade, which is 75mm or 3 inches in width.
The chain trencher opens up the start of the trench to the required depth, which can be up to 900mm, and the end of the pipe is rolled up at ground level to give sufficient length for jointing and installation.
The plough blade is dropped in the trench to the required depth with the wheels on the ground and the vibrator above. The end of the pipe is taken from ground level to the bottom of the trench and the coil is then fed through the plough blade as the machine is driven forward.
The trench cut by the mole plough is just over 75mm / 3 inches wide and the pipe or cable is laid at the bottom of this very narrow trench.
When the run of pipe or cable laying is completed the pipe is brought to the surface where once again a surplus is left before cutting off to allow for jointing etc.,
The tractor wheel is driven along the trench line to consolidate and close the narrow gap in the soil. The work is done with the minimum disturbance to the ground and little or no wheel marks.
Duct Installation
The trench is again started with a mini digger.
An adapted mole plough blade is used, to which the draw hawser is linked it is then threaded through the ploughing head and through the laid out duct pipe and the end stop attached to the end of the duct.
The machine starts forward drawing the duct installation gear and duct and cable if required through the mole ploughed trench.
Additional duct lengths can be added as work progresses. The end of the trench is excavated by mini digger and the installation finished off.
Start and finish trenches are backfilled and the mole plough line is compacted by rolling with the machine wheels - again minimum disturbance to the terrain. |
